BRIDGE RAILING REPAIR COATING WITH A PARAFIN BASE SEALANT

THE RAILING WAS REFINISHED WITH PATENTED PARAFFIN BASE SEALER SIMILAR TO THAT USED TO PREVENT RUSTING ON AUTOMOBILES. THE RAILING AND BRACKETS ARE SAND BLASTED AND THE RAILING IS THEN SPRAYED WITH A BLOCK SEALER COAT. ANOTHER COAT OF SEALANT WITH GREEN PIGMENT WILL BE SPRAYED AS A FINISH COAT. THE COST FOR THE COMPLETE OPERATION WAS $50 PER 10-FOOT PANEL. COST COMPARISONS ARE MADE WITH SIMILAR PROJECTS. PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE SEAL COATS AND THE EQUIPMENT USED FOR APPLYING THE SEALANT ARE PRESENTED.
